Influential NGO Leader: Russia Will Not Give Up Snowden

FromEcho Moskvy

Russia will not hand over Edward Snowden to the USA, Lyudmila Alekseyeva believes

The head of the MHG has suggested that the our country could give asylum to the disgraced man behind the scandalous leaks. In addition, Alekseyeva said that she would sympathise with Snowden if he received the status of a political refugee in Russia. She explained this by saying that the situation in terms of freedom of speech in our country and the USA are very different.

Comments fromEcho Moskvy

tyler_durden:

Alekseyeva would, obviously, give her boyfriend to the yanks. Only in the name of human values.

erpetkur: (responding to above)

It’s a difficult situation, we have to climb the fir tree without pricking ourselves.

rentallin:

As soon as Russia has extracted all data and knowledge from Snowden, they’ll give him straight back.

patt:

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Alekseyeva is a liberal and everyone knows it!!!

combiner_03:

Putin has raped Obama publicly. Let’s see how things develop.

stress2012:

Putin has raped himself publicly. Once again, he has shown the whole world his price – 3 kopecks on bazar day)))

vdemchenko:

The guy made his choice a long time ago – in the name of his ideology (which is not completely clear) he broke his government’s laws. God will judge him.

antidemshizuh:

“in the name of his ideology (which is not completely clear)” The idea of the right to a private life and family secrets can only be unclear to two types of person:
1) those who have no private life
2) gays. Everyone should know everything about their private lives (they decided that themselves).
Which of these two groups do you belong to?

ohrjr:

If he stays, then she’ll complain over and over again! Find another country!

kaplan9111:

They need to give Snowden a World Citizen passport!

klikot:

I guess it’s (il)logical that Russia who don’t stand on ceremony, particularly in terms of its citizens’ rights has become Snowden’s temporary protector.

skillhoster:

Snowden and Assange have done more for human rights around the world in an hour than Alekseyeva’s MHG in the whole time it’s existed. That’s why they’re angry now.
